The diesel engine fire pump and the electric fire pump are “one standby and one use”. The control boxes of the diesel engine fire pump and the electric fire pump should be kept independent of each other, and the diesel engine fire pump must be used as the backup pump of the electric fire pump, and cannot be used as backup for each other.

The pump start signal in the fire extinguishing system is directly connected to the electric fire pump control box, and it is not suitable to be connected to the diesel engine fire pump control box at the same time. The pump start fault signal of the electric fire pump control box and the pump start signal in the fire extinguishing system are used as the automatic start pump start signal of the diesel engine fire pump control box, and the line is connected to the control box of the diesel engine fire pump. The pump start failure signal of the diesel engine fire pump control box received an alarm from the fire control center. After receiving the alarm, the authorized personnel rushed to the pump room to force the diesel pump to start in an emergency.

Double power fire pump is mainly composed of electric fire pump, diesel fire pump and regulator pump, in no power supply or power supply (mains) is not normal will start the diesel fire pump, to ensure the fire water supply in these unexpected circumstances.

Factors include the building size, height, occupancy type, local fire codes, water supply source, and the required water flow and pressure. A thorough hydraulic analysis is typically performed to determine the appropriate pump size and type.

Diesel engine fire pumps are usually used as a backup facility, and will only start automatically when the electric water pump fails or the power is cut off when the fire signal comes. When equipped with an ultra-low pressure pump starting device, the matching electric pump control cabinet should also be equipped with an ultra-low pressure pump starting device, and the lower limit of pump starting should have a certain pressure difference. Of course, it is also possible to design a control system that is more suitable for customer needs according to customer requirements.

The basis for the selection of fire pumps should be based on the process flow, water supply and drainage requirements, and be considered from five aspects, namely, liquid delivery volume, device lift, liquid properties, pipeline layout, and operating conditions. Fire pumps are mainly divided into vertical and horizontal types. The flow rate of the conveying liquid is one of the important performance data for pump selection. It is directly related to the production capacity of the entire device. The working conditions of the fire pump: flow rate: 2～1400m3/h, Head: 5～130m, maximum working pressure of the system: ≤1.6MPa, working temperature: -15℃～+80℃.

Fire pumps are more expensive than ordinary water pumps because they must meet specific fire protection standards and are built to handle high temperature and pressure water. They also have additional features, such as larger motors, to rapidly provide the necessary flow rate to meet fire protection requirements.

Diesel engine fire pump sets provide independent drive in the event of power outages. They have the advantages of fast start-up, high head and large flow, long-lasting water supply and intelligent control, ensuring continuous emergency water supply in fires and providing reliable protection for high-rise buildings, factories, warehouses and energy facilities.

This high-performance diesel fire pump is specifically designed for warehouse and factory fire protection systems. It features high temperature resistance, continuous long-term operation, independent power supply, and stable water delivery capabilities. It reliably starts even in extreme conditions such as power outages, making it suitable for high-risk industrial and warehousing fire protection applications.

When selecting a firefighting pump, it’s essential to consider factors such as the type and size of fires likely to be encountered, the terrain and accessibility of the area, the availability of water sources, and the expertise of the operators. For example, wildland firefighting may require lightweight and portable pumps capable of drawing water from remote sources, while industrial settings may require high-capacity pumps with specialized features for handling flammable liquids or chemicals.
